Dual Life ~Hiru wa Yuusha Party, Yoru wa Maou Gun~

The first day of the holiday, obtained by Mirage, was devoted to investigating archeological sites found in the western part of the demons. Originally, investigating archeological sites generally takes time, but the Demon King's army has been able to achieve some efficiency through years of experience. As a feature of the ruins of the ancient civilization period, many traps are set up to intercept intruders, and monsters settle in where they came from. For traps, technology that uses magic, which can be said to be a symbol of ancient civilization, is mainly used. For internal investigation, a magician who is good at detecting magic power is required to accompany. A common part of magic and magical tools is that they convert magical power into a suitable form to produce various effects, and the process called conversion or kneading is said to be the easiest to detect. I have. It is magical perception that it is only an individual's sensation and that it has not been clarified more clearly than magic. However, since there are magicians who can actually sense the activation of magic on their skin, they are definitely skills that exist, and are commonly called the magical sixth intuition. And, of course, Mirage was good at sensing magic. In the first place, it has a high-performance sensing ability at the time when it can be transferred with the magic mark engraved in a distant place in the first place, and it can be said that it is natural to be able to grasp to some extent even if it is not your own magic power. As one of the reasons that Mirage did research and analysis on his own transfer magic and compared it with various magical books of ancient civilization, one of the reasons why no one in the past was a great genie was this sensing ability It was assumed to be low. Of course, there are other uncertainties, but Mirage itself treats the assumptions about the transfer using the magic mark as a set theory. There were few wizards who were so good at sensing ability, and they were also valuable.

"Well, it looks like a military fortress used in ancient civilizations. If you do well, you might get a good deal of magical equipment."

Mirage is only going to talk about rough predictions while clapping the wall, and only the four kings Bedivia and his deputy Feo are accompanied by the archeological survey. Astalt originally planned to investigate on a different schedule, so sudden changes were difficult and he was not participating. The three gathered early in the morning and moved to the nearest location with Mirage's transfer magic, from there they arrived at the archeological site with the tremendous leg strength of the enhancement magic, and began investigating the interior. By the way, it is obvious that Mirage was carrying a pheo with a low fighting ability because the magic of reinforcement is not so skillful.

"Isn't it dangerous if it becomes a fortress?"

"Fortress is fun!"

Feo, who seems worried about Mirage's remarks, and Bedivia, who feels comfortable, are both correct. One of the most probable causes of the destruction of ancient civilizations is that ancient war-followers may have caused a great disaster that could change the terrain. The true nature of the disaster is unclear because of various theories, but it is certain that it was only something that destroyed advanced civilization. Fortresses and castles are often found to be solidly built for military purposes, but it is also natural that the remains of the city are excavated. However, it is the former that the useful ancient relics are likely to remain, and it is also the former that monsters often nest themselves. In the first place, the ecology of the demon is still unclear, and its distinction from other beasts is largely based on whether it dies and then becomes undead. If the monster corpse is left unattended for a while, it has a strange property that it starts to move in the state of bones and rotten meat, and to prevent this, at least the limbs of the corpse are separated so that they can not physically move Or, if you are absolutely sure, you can burn it out and crush it to your bones, or apply a purification magic. Purification magic, one of the sacred magic received from the goddess Fortuna, is effective in undead, and it is recognized that demons are unclean beings. And the demons who could not handle the purification magic were also hated by humans as being unable to receive the protection of the goddess.

"Hmm, when it comes to honest fortresses, the types and numbers of traps are extraordinary and golems come out, but that would be more fun for Beddy."

Golems are a type of ancient weapon, a thorny entity that continues to protect archeological sites without ruin even after civilization has fallen. Wearing a very strong exterior, it works semi-permanently in order not to destroy the nucleus inside the body and relentlessly eliminates intruders. In particular, it will definitely appear in places where rare things such as magic tools are governed, and it will not pass half-hearted magic or weapon attacks.

"Bedy's power is the best. Golems can be shredded together."

"Princess, don't worry, but don't break the archeological site. You'll get angry at Mirage."

While Bedivia turns his arm around, Feo whispers in secret. A golem is a threat to a weak fighter, but he may be more worried that Bedivia will be too rampage. Ancient civilization ruins are mostly buried underground, and the mirages enter the area from the doorway where they were discovered. If the ruins collapse, there is a risk of being crushed by earth and sand. Escape itself can be anything because there is a transition magic of Mirage, but it will take considerable effort and time to dig up the collapsed and buried archeological site again, and even the pain of even aged books and other books will be excessively severe Needless to say. For Phoeo, personal safety is promised as long as Mirage and Bedivia are present, and the only danger is the damage caused by Bedivia's rampage.

"Both stop a bit."

Mirage walks in front, calls out to Bedivia and Phoeo, who walk backwards, then places her left hand on the floor and begins releasing magic. And if you forcibly remove the floorboard with your free hand, magic characters are written tightly inside the floorboard and on the floor, and there are lines that you do not understand well what is used He also went through books. Cut two of them with a knife taken from the chest, close the floor again, release your left hand, and draw a large cross with chalk-like objects on the spot. Pheo, who saw the situation, wrote something on the map at hand and noddedly answered when her eyes met Mirage who turned around. This exchange had already taken place many times since the investigation began, with Mirage spearheading the discovery and release of the trap, Pheo mapping and remarking, and Bedivia escorting Pheo. . Even if it is called a trap, it is packed with ancient technology, so the place after the release is described so that researchers can analyze and apply the contents later, and notes if there is no time to release it This is the role of the initial survey. However, the reality is that it is very difficult and slow to elucidate and reproduce ancient technology not only among demons but also humans, and it takes a laughable story that it will take 10,000 years to fully reproduce, Is occurring.

"But there are so many traps. Did you ever see so many in Mirage's past research?"

"No, I think it's by far the best I've done. Perhaps that's what played this important role ..."

"I want to fight the golem quickly. I know that there are strong opponents in important places. I'm excited."

Mirage has been investigating a number of archeological sites, but the fortifications currently under investigation are already on the map of Pheo, with the locations of the traps tightly packed, an amount that has never been experienced before. The easy-going Bedivia's remark is also striking, with the number of traps proportional to the importance of the place and the more powerful the golems that come out. In fact, all the monsters that came out since the start of the archeological investigation have become undead, and it is easy to imagine that they died from traps left at the archeological site. Mirage thought this was more dangerous and promising than expected.

"It's very likely that an important facility has undiscovered technology. It may be an outrageous discovery!"

"It may be true ... but in my experience, it's usually decided that in this case something that is not good will happen."

"I care too much about Mirage. If it's dangerous, Beddy will protect it."

The three people proceed with caution while talking so, and while continuing to release the trap, smash all the monsters that Bedivia has become undead with a single blow and proceed without difficulty. However, despite the discovery of some books and magic, there was no remarkable harvest that could be called a new discovery. Afterwards, Bedivia cried out as she discovered something in a laboratory-like room she found about six hours after she began investigating the archeological site.

"Mirage, Pheo, there's a button here. It's suspicious."

Although they had already judged that there was no danger, they were fishing separately in the room, but Mirage and Pheo gathered in the voice of Bedivia to confirm the target.

"Yeah, no matter where you look, it's a button.

"The button inside the safe is suspicious at all ... Isn't it a trap?"

It appears that Bedivia has brutely destroyed the safe's door buried in the wall, with bare buttons claiming to be suspicious. Mirage thinks that it is better to push it anyway, thinking that there is no discomfort due to magic and there is a possibility of a physical trap ... Mirage speculated that perhaps because there was no noticeable harvest for the number of traps, there was probably somewhere like a secret room somewhere important.

"Either way, it doesn't start if I don't push it, and for the time being me ..."

"Beddy presses it. It's a snap."

"Oh, princess!"

When Mirage tries to reach the button, Bedivia pushes first.

"... nothing happens, right?"

"Hmm, is it broken?"

"It's boring that nothing happens."

The Mirages felt as if they had eaten their shoulders, but suddenly the whole room began to gurgling and trembling. Although Mirage was thinking about activating the transfer magic, he suddenly prepared himself, but he reconsidered that there seemed to be no problems.

"Is it down to the basement every room? Still, it's another technology that doesn't feel magical, but I'm wondering how it works. It looks much faster than conventional ones."

"Is it really okay not to use magic?"

"Your body is fluffy."

The technique of moving the entire room has been confirmed in other ancient archeological sites, but all of them were activated using magic. Just like the demons have their own unique magic, they use magic from birth, so the power that can be reassured even if the whole picture is not clear is magic power. Conversely, since there is no idea of causing strange things without using magic, you may feel uncomfortable and anxious as the words of Mirage and Pheo. It was only a matter of minutes, but Mirage looked into the room in the meantime, thinking about the technology, and Pheo grabbed the Mirage's robe a bit and was worried. On the other hand, Bedivia jumped around in the room, jumping around with Pyong Pyong.

"Well then, whether a demon comes out or a snake comes out, let's just get out of the door."

"I'm here for an ogre. Snakes are delicious."

"I'm the one who cooks snakes, so I don't want to come out too much ..."

The Mirages reopened the doors they first entered, engaging in an awkward conversation that seemed awkward, and a brightly lit white wall and ceiling corridor jumped into their eyes. The straight corridor is about 10 meters wide, with dozens of giant metal armor lines by the walls. The golems then turned toward the Mirages and began to approach, apparently hostile, with their equipped weapons.
